Blog Makeover & Southwestern Potatoes

I've been dying to do a makeover for my blog for quite some time now. Sure, it was very simple and classic looking, but I wanted something a bit more colorful and fun.

Thanks to my amazing friend Lisa over at Surviving Oz, I was finally able to give my blog a face lift! I am beyond thrilled with how everything turned out and I cannot begin to thank her enough! I still have to work on finishing up some additional content for the blog, but for now at least it has a new look :)

In honor of my blog makeover, I'm going to share with you one of the best recipes I have come across in a long time! I bookmarked this particular recipe several months ago. My only regret now is not making it sooner!! I promise that this is something you need to try! It's about as simple as simple gets. You simply slice some potatoes, toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper, then bake them in the oven for about 15 minutes. Next, top them with some barbeque sauce, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits. After a few more minutes in the oven, you've got the tastiest potato side or appetizer you've ever eaten!

I made these two times in two days they were so good! My husband calls them crack :) I would bring these to a party any day over the alleged "crack dip."

Jaime those potatoes look amazing and I KNOW they taste even better as I make a couple of different versions of the them. I've not added the BBQ sauce I'll have to give that a try. If you like onions and peppers I've sauted bite size pieces of them along with the potatoes. Just thought of something mushrooms would probably be good too. Okay we're having some with dinner tomorrow!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog makeover. The blog looks absolutely fantastic. And what a perfect recipe to christen the new blog. These southwestern potatoes look divine. I can't wait to try them (now that you've convinced me that I need them in my life)!

wow, Elra! that was fast! They really are quick and easy though aren't they? i am sure they taste good the way you made them but you have to make them w/the BBQ sauce and bacon, it just makes them that much more good!!! :)

I made these today for company and they were a hit. Easy to make at the last minute. I cooked some good bacon and broke it in course pieces and I shredded the cheese a day early. Putting it together was a snap just before we ate. Thank you.
